Backing Up Local Folders Only

Hello, I have have an IMAP email running on my Thunderbird. Since I am an alumni, I will lose access to the email. I copied my emails to the local folders and I baked up my email data using the tutorial: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

I tested the back up in another computer. It worked, but I have a concern. The backup was for the IMAP server of my uni email and the local folders. After the uni disconnects the email service, the current back up has both the IMAP server and local folders information. Will this backup restore correctly in the future after the discontinuation of my IMAP email? If not, how can I backup my local folders only? Or how can I delete my uni account from Thunderbird without effecting the local folders to do another backup for the local folders only?

If I delete my uni account from my first PC does the deletion synchronize to the Thunderbird in my other computer? Thank you

I would suggest the addon and you export each local folder as an mbox file. Mbox is basically an industry standard, so most open source mail clients can read then and there are abundant utilities to convert them to an assortment of proprietary formats if you should need to at some time in the future.
